Robert Lapointe was a French singer, noted for his humorous texts, alliterations and plays on words.
Lapointe was born in Pzenas, in the Hrault dpartement of southern France. A brilliant pupil, he prepared for the entrance exam to the Centrale and SupAero at Montpellier, but was conscripted into the Youth Building Projects in 1942 and sent to Linz, Austria, in 1943 for compulsory work service. He escaped the same year, and found work as a diver in La Ciotat, a suburb of Marseille, in 1944.
